I went to dinner at a restaurant called Spill the Wine last night, so I now have this song stuck in my head! Here is the original version I used to hear on the radio. And here is a live performance, with Eric Burden on vocals and the great band War playing a cha-cha groove with that wacky flute ("All Day Music" is still one of my favorite songs)
But ever since I heard it in 1970, I've been singing "spill the wine, dig that girl!" and it turns out that it is "spill the wine, take that pearl"? Talk about mondegreens!

You're both right!

Both "take that pearl" and "dig that girl" appear in the lyrics.
